Background Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 46 (Zbtb46) is a transcription factor identified in classical dendritic cells, and maintains dendritic cell quiescence in a steady state.Zbtb46has been reported to be a negative indicator of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We found thatZbtb46was expressed at a relatively higher level in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) compared to mature cells, and higher in AML cells compared to normal bone marrow (BM) cells. However, the role ofZbtb46in HSPCs and AML cells remains unclear. Therefore, we sought to elucidate the effect ofZbtb46in normal hematopoiesis and AML cells. Methods We generatedZbtb46(fl/fl)andZbtb46(fl/fl)Mx1-Cremice. The deletion ofZbtb46inZbtb46(fl/fl)Mx1-Cremice was induced by intraperitoneal injection of double-stranded poly (I). poly (C) (poly(I:C)), and referred asZbtb46cKO. After confirming the deletion ofZbtb46, the frequency and numbers of HSPCs and mature blood cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Serial intraperitoneal injection of 5-fluorouracil was administrated to determine the repopulation ability of HSCs fromZbtb46(fl/fl)andZbtb46cKO mice. The correlation betweenZbtb46expression and prognosis was analyzed using the data from the Cancer Genome Atlas. To investigate the role ofZbtb46in AML cells, we knocked down the expression ofZbtb46in THP-1 cells using lentiviral vectors expressing small hairpin RNAs targetingZbtb46. Cell proliferation rate was determined by cell count assay. Cell apoptosis and bromodeoxyuridine incorporation were determined by flow cytometry. Results The percentages and absolute numbers of HSPCs and mature blood cells were comparable inZbtb46cKO mice and itsZbtb46(fl/fl)littermates (Zbtb46(fl/fl)vs. Zbtb46cKO, HPC: 801,310 +/- 84,282vs.907,202 +/- 97,403,t= 0.82,P= 0.46; LSK: 86,895 +/- 7802vs.102,210 +/- 5025,t = 1.65,P = 0.17; HSC: 19,753 +/- 3116vs.17,608 +/- 3508,t = 0.46,P = 0.67). The repopulation ability of HSCs fromZbtb46(fl/fl)Mx1-Cremice was similar to those fromZbtb46(fl/fl)control (P = 0.26).Zbtb46had elevated expression in AML cells compared to total BM cells from normal control. Knockdown ofZbtb46in THP-1 cells led to a significant increase in cell apoptosis and reduced cell growth and proliferation. Conclusion Collectively, our data indicate thatZbtb46is essential for survival and proliferation of AML cells, but dispensable for normal hematopoiesis.
